The first annual Los Angeles Soul Music Festival will kick off July 22-24, to feature award-winnning international soul singers

Soul music
lovers are marking their calendars for July 22-24, 2016 and Los Angeles’ first
annual LA Soul Music Festival. Debuting live at the Autry Museum of American
West nestled in the scenic Griffith Park (located at 4700 Western Heritage Way,
Los Angeles, CA 90027), Mark Douglas, along with business experts Ezell
Kendrick, Jeffrey Weber and Airborne Tickets stand at the helm of this summer
music festival circuit. Fri., Sat., and Sun., from 5:30 PM to 11 PM daily, this
three-day festival experience will attract fans and tastemakers from all over
Southern California.

"Whether
it’s vocals, instrumental soloists or a band, it doesn’t matter as long as each
artist has the ability and talent to inspire and connect with an
audience," stated Los Angeles Soul Festival Head, Mark Douglas. By way of
determination and a unique vision, Mark and his team's goal was to bring a
music festival to Los Angeles to present to the public in one of the city's
most distinctive locations. Mission accomplished for the festival underway, as
The Autry is the ultimate, outdoor venue for live entertainment on sun-kissed
days and twinkling, summer nights. Nestled on 2.5 acres of outdoor space,
festival goers can soak up the breathtaking view while escaping into the sultry
sounds of live music. There is also free parking available across the street at
the LA Zoo.

Wine and
beer enthusiasts can look forward not only to LA Soul Music Festival's many
talented musicians on stage but also the opportunity to have their favorite
libations of choice throughout the weekend. Budweiser, Budlight, Stella Artois,
Shock Top and Golden Road Brewing are a sampling of the domestic and craft
breweries onboard. Foodies too can rally in the fun of deciding which gourmet
food truck will punch their palates with some local favorites such as Not Your
Mamas Kitchen and The Kobbler King.

Attendees
will appreciate shorter waiting periods in line for food and beverages by the
festival using cutting edge, RFID technology that lets fans leave their tickets
and wallets at home. By loading funds onto wristbands, guests can effortlessly
pay vendors on site. These RFID wristbands will also connect Los Angeles Soul
Music Festival goers to the artists on the bill, other like-minded fans through
social media, contribute to shorter entrance lines and function as their ticket
into the event, too.

Premium or
General Admission level ticketless wristbands are now available for purchase
for 1, 2 or 3 days at LASoulMusic.com. The full performance schedule, L.A.
Hotel Downtown accommodations for out-of-town guests and other festival details
can be found online as well. Interview requests for LA Soul Festival performers
or players behind the scene should be directed to Jade Umbrella PR.
